Todays update is the start of a new book for the club! It’s a favorite of mine for many reasons. For starters I just love the 1950 art style of the smaller animation studios. It was a time in history where a lot really talented people got together and experimented. The booming economy fueled the growth of the modern cartoon look. The book Carton Modern by Amid Amidi is packed with beautiful images of the area. Pick it up if you want to learn more.
